Album Review: Rihanna, “Good Girl Gone Bad” (2007)

If you had told me a year ago that I would buy, and much less enjoy, a Rihanna CD, I probably would have laughed in your face. I’ve never been much of a Rihanna fan; I found all of her radio singles (particularly Pon De…

Album Review: *NSYNC, “No Strings Attached” (2000)

I don’t know what started it exactly, but recently I’ve been having a pre-teen nostalgia kick. This, embarrassingly enough, means I’ve been listening non-stop to my favorite artists of the time- *NSYNC. I’m pretty sure my friends on Last.FM are going to delete me once…

Album Review: Britney Spears, “Oops!… I Did It Again” (2000)

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been almost exactly seven years since Britney Spears released her sophomore album, Oops!…I Did It Again (the CD was released on May 16th, 2000). It’s even harder for me to imagine that I was only thirteen then- right at…
